Video From 2001 Shows Woman at Heart of Sanford Media Firestorm (no video, just photo)
Fox News ^ | June 25, 2009

Posted on 06/26/2009 1:45:42 PM PDT by rawhide

The woman at the heart of a media firestorm following South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's admission of an affair can be seen in a 2001 video working as a freelance reporter for an Argentine TV station.

The video, posted online by Argentine news site Infobae.com, shows Maria Belen Chapur delivering a report from New York City on the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks for a TV news show called "Despues de hora" on the Spanish-language America network.

"Maria Belen was working as a freelance journalist for that show," Sebastian Aguirre, who worked on the show with Chapur, told FOXNews.com.

Sanford revealed Wednesday that he was cheating on his wife with a woman in Argentina. Local media report that Chapur is Sanford's mistress, though Sanford has not identified her publicly.

Chapur, 43, lives in an upscale apartment complex in a trendy neighborhood of Buenos Aires. She has not been seen there since Sanford confessed publicly to his affair.

What's that saying--"Beauty is in the heart of the beholder"...?

Or is it, "Beauty is skin deep; ugly is to the bone".

????????

She can’t help it, she’s of Lebanese ancestry.

So if she’s a news anchor at an Argentine TV station, why is it so difficult to get pictures of her?

My Maria don't you know I've come a long, long way
I been longin' to see her
When she's around she takes my blues away
Sweet Maria the sunlight surely hurts my eyes
I'm a lonely dreamer on a highway in the skies

Maria, Maria I love you

My Maria there were some blue and sorrow times
Just my thoughts about you bring back my piece of mind
Gypsy lady you're a mircle work for me
You set my soul free like a ship sailing on the sea
She is the sunlight when skies are grey
She treats me so right lady take me away

My Maria
Maria I love you
My Maria
Maria I love you

My Maria
Maria I love you

Sheesh, really! She’s exactly how I pictured her. Sanford is a slimeball, but I can’t accuse him of having bad taste.

I concur with Rawhide’s esteemed legal opinion.

I need more evidence presented (additional photos) before I’m willing to vote GUILTY or INNOCENT.

Very good looking woman, and much closer to his age than, say, Monica Lewinsky was to Bill Clinton, and countless others probably were to their ‘infidels’.
On the face of it, I don’t think Sanford should resign.
But he may wind up in a divorce, and that would hurt him as fatally as a resignation , most likely.
He might be able, though, to exit the scene with a little more class than Clinton did, who, as we all remember, did not actually exit the scene EVER, to this day.
I, for one, don’t understand this public exculpation these politicos go through, which, as you’ll remember everyone from Clinton to McGreevy, seems to importantly begin and end with the “I have sinned” angle. Why doesn’t anyone just come out, stop STILL cultivating the “christian” or I’m holier than thou” vote, and say, “My libido made me do it, I couldn’t help it, she made me feel young again” or any of a thousand other things that are probably closer to the truth, and more resonant with most Americans, than “I have sinned”.

I have always maintained that the greatest sex organ is the mind.... this woman had 15 years to titilate with her “friend” Sanford, about her sexual life and details. A lot of that came out in the e-mails, i.e., she liked to talk sex....
